Little Luxuries reminds us of the joys in life we get to experience every so often but shouldn't expect or over indulge in. This 100% barrel aged blended stout was conditioned on an absurd amount of house toasted coconut and house barrel aged maple syrup. What a luxury to drink a chocolate macaroon drenched in bourbon infused maple syrup.

MBCC 2023 thanks to Eric for the advise. Black pour with a brownish lacing. Nose: maple syrup, coffee and coconut. Mouth: it’s sweet with a subtle roast which comes up again and again. Coconut is there in its pure and original essence.

Tap, MBCC 2023 blue session as Little Luxuries 2. Black color with almost no head. Aroma is nutty, candybar, chocolate, some barrel. Taste is almonds, nutty, chocolate. Oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation, some warming booze. Intense but good!

Bottle thanks to Brian. Pours a dark brown with small beige head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is chocolate malt, licorice, coconut, booze. Slick body, milk chocolate, coconut, roast, boozy finish, very nice.
